Rutgers Scarlet Knights football statistical leaders

Ray Rice holds Rutgers career and single-season records in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights football statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights football program in various categories,[1] including passing, rushing, receiving, total offense, defensive stats, and kicking. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Scarlet Knights represent Rutgers University–New Brunswick in the NCAA's Big 10 Conference.

Although Rutgers began competing in intercollegiate football in 1869,[1] records from before the 1940s are often incomplete and inconsistent, and are often not included in these lists. However, when available, as in the case of Homer Hazel, the players can appear on the lists.

These lists are dominated by more recent players for several reasons:

These lists are updated through the end of the 2016 season.
